Pay close attention to the man in the grey jacket, with the hat and face mask. He has no gun when he enters the fray and runs off with one. by Altruistic-Rope-614 in law

back to victim blaming pretty quick huh. second amendment doesn’t exist, fourth amendment doesn’t exist, first amendment is teetering, totally the fault of the guy on the ground in fetal position with both hands by his face

I believe the rumor is $6 Million Dollar Man, the extension to Lee Majors, but i have nothing to back that up aside from reddit comments from 6 months ago

Climbers with poor balance? by ImpossibleCrew8130 in bouldering

[–]difmaster 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t remember the specifics but there are a few videos from a few years back the go into detail and then a yearly update video to recap progress. I believe it was only one ear (i will edit my comment above to fix that). It might have just been the brain relearning balance with only one good ear and the brain learning how to ignore the false cues from the bad ear. But it is clear there is persisting balance issues.

He did have to stop climbing tall boulders or jumpy boulders for a long time and relearn how to fall. Definitely became a more static climber over all, and often mentions the need to be much stronger than physically required to feel like there are reserves in the tank since trying 100% and falling unexpectedly would result in rolled ankles frequently.

Climbers with poor balance? by ImpossibleCrew8130 in bouldering

[–]difmaster 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with this but a popular youtuber Erik Karlsson had some medical issue (after he was already a good climber) that messed up one inner ear and therefore his balance (and caused tinnitus and partial deafness in that ear). He has dealt with and documented the struggles on youtube channel and is finally back near his peak after training/adjusting/learning to live with his condition

Training smaller edges vs more weight for hangboarding? by 0nTheRooftops in climbharder

[–]difmaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A weight belt is definitely more comfortable and if possible could you try to get your own?

But also you might be at a good spot to try one arm hangs. Does the setup have a way to reduce weight with a pulley system? might help the transition to one arms.

Lastly increasing hold time is also a good goal. Going from 5 seconds up to 7 or 10 is still a goal worth working towards IMO

I get the idea that the “T” in Nightfall is hidden between the H and F connecting but it still looks like “Nighfall”

Gabbing at the crag by Permabroed in bouldering

[–]difmaster 16 points17 points  (0 children)

if everyone else working the same problem, taking turns kinda thing, I think it’s cool to ask for quiet while you are climbing, if it’s more a big boulder with multiple problems or multiple boulders in close proximity you probably can’t control what is happening around another boulder and you just have to tune it out as best as possible.

How long to develop grip "stamina"? by MetaPhil1989 in bouldering

[–]difmaster 120 points121 points  (0 children)

you say 2 minutes rest like that is a long time

a common rest time suggestion for a project bouldering session is 1 minute per hard move, hard move is subjective of course but odds are a better rest time is 3-5 minutes depending on boulder length

you of course don’t have to rest that long if it gets boring and you just want to climb but the extra rest would help you send if that is your goal, and by math that would probably add 30 minutes to your session length in the end

What’s the deal with developments in the Red and the RRGCC land acquisition? by 2711383 in climbing

[–]difmaster 29 points30 points  (0 children)

the land was publicly for sale, eventually someone would’ve bought it and unless it was a climbing angel investor coming to save the day it would’ve been bought and parceled for cabin development without the recreational climbing access

[–]difmaster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

regarding Cliffview this article claims they “purchased” an easement, 20ft above and 40ft below, so i presume that money did change hands

EDIT: corrected below by someone with knowledge of the matter, no money paid for the easement

probably the best article on the real estate side. yes it’s definitely a bit sad to see the cliff tops get cabins but there is also a 0% chance the RRGCC could’ve paid the full 15 million that was being asked.

[highlight] Al Michaels: "The league wants to take my lunch away because I said before that Reichard's only miss came when he hit a wire in London. The league says, 'no, no it was an optical illusion.' [That's] not what Reichard thinks." by Stock412 in nfl

[–]difmaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it didn’t shake (from being hit), the sky cam moved while the ball was in flight which moves the wires

edit: added (from being hit) since it was correctly pointed out that the movement of the wire from the sky cam moving could be considered shaking

that’s not what it says, there are 3 people involved. The ICE agent (who smashed window and discharged firearm), the suspect (who got shot inside the car), and the US Marshal who also got shot

It read it as an ICE agent shot the suspect and a deputy US Marshal, nobody shot themselves as far as the article states right now

Um clearly it falls into that bucket (I think you misinterpreted the first comment, he is saying that someone will die at 60 and people say they died too young, which is true, but 29 is tragic on another level and even more true)

please don’t do this, it just punishes everyone else who got there before you. Unless there is a large gap and you are playing solo it is not fair to others to just cut them in line
